Civilized General Discussion, the NEW BLUE BOARD / New discussion thread for "grousing about" and letting off steam

**Posted by greenman** 8/23/2023 8:47 am

Well, thanks, I guess. History repeats itself, and I’m stuck with a DNR whether I want one or not.

Oh well. It’s not like I’ll miss talking to the idiot.

Sia: Well, GOG was literally BEGGING for one and this way, he cannot keep needling you trying to get you banned again.

If he was asking for one, that’s his business - and a matter for Ken to decide. Seems odd that a guy who was CONSTANTLY, almost obsessively posting to everything I put on the board would ask for a DNR; but then he doesn’t like to have his little conspiracy lectures derided or interrupted. Luckily there are plenty of others willing to do that!

The only thing that annoyed me is that I was in effect blamed equally with him, and that’s absurdly unfair. But that’s in the nature of DNRs.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but rest assured, DNRs don't imply blame, equal or not. Sometimes people just don't mesh and have to be forcibly separated.

Everyone can see for themselves who did what and when. Don't worry about it. Just don't violate it, THEN there WILL be blame attached.

Jus' sayin'

Here’s an example of what I was saying about being singled out:

***
My parents are older then you and they keep up with technology.

Posted by KR on August 22, 2023, 6:37 pm, in reply to "This technology is a challenge. I’m slow. I had 23 trackers stopped just last week. Probably from"

You must just be slow and stupid…..or just an ignorant looooooony!

Now GFY
***
Is profanity against the rules, or only when I use it?

Just wondering..

**Posted by Siagiah** 8/23/2023 1:59 pm

KR's vulgar posts get deleted or edited whenever they are reported. Those who do report stuff apparently didn't see it? If it's still there when I get home from PT and my biweekly infusion, I will report it. Or you could?

This is a prime example of someone hiding violations inside a post so it is regularly missed.

**Posted by Ken C** 8/23/2023 3:42 pm

There is something wrong with the forum search feature. Sometimes I search for a word like "GFY", and the search feature does not show posts that contain the word.

Also both GOG and greenman don't email me to report problems. Instead of emailing me, they post things like this:

I’ve actually e-mailed you several times, Ken. The problem is you almost never ANSWER me.

Don’t try to evade responsibility for the failures of moderation you’re so famous for.

Also: can you answer my question, Ken. Is profanity only a problem if I do it, or do the same rules apply to others?

**Posted by Ken C** 8/23/2023 4:22 pm

Profanity directed at posters is not allowed, Sometimes people put the profanity inside a post, so I don't notice and don't delete it.

Today I noticed a problem with the search feature. Sometimes the search box does not work when I search for a word like "GFY". That makes it harder to find and delete the profanity.

Thanks.

Which is why LINKS as just as important as the text when sending in a report. I always include both so that Ken or Trish can read what's inside of the link to decide while reading the email if it warrants deletion, editing, or warnings. That saves them time since they have so little of it.

I also include links to the questionable post, and refrain from frequent "report" knowing Ken and Trish have limited time. The board is their R&R, not their thankless, unpaid job.

The fact is GOG is running out of people who will converse with him. Greenman, he did with you exactly what he does with everyone driven to seek a DNR for relief. He also refuses to follow the directions and email concerns with Ken and Trish. They showed extraordinary patience and tolerance in dealing with him. If they choose the path of registration, that will be a last ditch effort to control what defies control. No doubt criticisms will show up in the places and from those who have problems with registration, because it stopt their abuse and trolling in its tracks. They have only themselves to blame for registration of this site, and if R&E follows that practice, GOG will be one of the main trolls responsible for that movement.

What has he done to warrant ‘extraordinary patience?’ Patience I was not the recipient of…

Most of your emails did not have links. It was hard for me to know what specific post you were complaining about.

======================================================

Very true. The search function works okay for subject lines but is very sketchy with internal contents.

People should ALWAYS include links else their reports will often go without being addressed because it's so difficult to find things with only the search function. One caveat, if the subject title is included, it can be used to search... Just for future reference.

Sorry. Will try to be more careful if necessary (hopefully it won’t be).

For starters, he tolerates me. That's worth half right there.

**Posted by greenman** 8/24/2023 12:23 pm

Fair play! Although I would think tolerating you is a low bar. Tolerating me is more of a test…;)

This was typically comical:

Civilized Personal Discussion
LOLS:-))). Mondo, you seem to hold the record for the most DNRs over at

Posted by GOG on August 25, 2023, 11:04 am

the Yellow. I might be in second place. Deanna has the least. Instigated by snobs, a list of non-communication rendering that board not about lively discussions. but neutered.
***

Guess he still can’t decide whether he desperately wanted a DNR against me or just passively permitted one, then tried to blame it on ‘snobs.’ Hysterical..

**Posted by Siagiah** 8/25/2023 9:33 pm

Funny stuff! No doubt it got mongo's attention and he spouted off. He'll do anything to get our attention... As if we care

**Posted by Trish** 8/26/2023 7:37 am

Yeah, there's an inane "look at me" one this morning. Next will come the complaint that we are discussing it here. The pattern is inevitable, close to JB predictive

**Posted by greenman** 8/26/2023 8:28 am

I thought COVID disinformation was a no-no, but idiot boy continues to post that stuff…?

**Posted by greenman** 8/26/2023 10:59 am

And a DNR violation against Mugwump. Which he pretended was a mistake. But no worries, he’s really a good boy at heart! lol

**Posted by Siagiah** 8/26/2023 6:27 pm

A DNR violation against you too where he agreed with SES's diss of you.

**Posted by greenman** 8/26/2023 7:05 pm

Yep, pretty much, although I really don’t worry much about that kind of stuff. As long as it’s not too obvious a connection.

**Posted by Siagiah** 8/26/2023 7:24 pm

I sent both in as DNR violations before seeing your original post about his DNR violation against Mugwump here,

If they aren't reported, he'll just get worse about his violations and push the edges further.

**Posted by greenman** 8/27/2023 10:22 am

Right now he’s playing second fiddle to CE0802. He loves that master & servant relationship, and misses Dr. Fuegostein…

**Posted by greenman** 8/27/2023 10:41 am

This was a direct reference to a post of mine to someone else, too. Not enough complain about, really, but typical.

He does that stuff all the time, as you know..

Yeah, I've seen at least 2 others today just perusing R&E. It's ridiculous but never ending.
